Walter Breen was probably the most active numismatic researcher during the second half of the 20th century. He was born in San Antonio on September 5, 1930 (some sources state 1928), and was abandoned, adopted, later beaten and left for dead, all before he was 18 years old. Breen met Wayte Raymond in 1950 and Raymond gave him his first numismatic position, researching the National Archives. Breen received a degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1952 and a master's from University of California, Berkeley, in 1966. He married Marian Zimmer Bradley in 1964, and they have two children. He wrote numerous articles and books, including his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, considered by most to be his masterwork. Due to a criminal conviction, Breen died in prison in 1993.
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
